耆闍崛山(上音祇次視遮反梵語訛略也正云姞粟駄羅矩吒此云鷲峯亦云鷲臺此山峯多棲鷲鳥又類高臺故以為名姞音巨乙反)。

Gṛdhrakūṭa Mountain (耆闍崛山: the upper is pronounced qí; the next is shì + zhē [shé]; corrupt and abbreviated Sanskrit. Properly it is Gṛdhrakūṭa (姞粟駄羅矩吒), translated here as Vulture Peak, and also as Vulture Terrace. Because many vultures roost on this mountain's peaks, and it resembles a high terrace, it was named thus. 姞 is pronounced jù + yǐ [jí]).
